Our Services

Crossroads was established to provide support, counseling, therapeutic services to individuals, children, couples and families. Our Substance Abuse Programs are designed to assist chemically dependent people in receiving appropriate treatment. Key people are assisted in moving the chemically dependent person toward treatment.

ACCESS TO RECOVERY (ATR)………………………………………………………………………………………………….
ATR is a federally funded program that provides services to individuals in recovery from a substance use disorder. Because every person and their recovery is different, a key component to the ATR program is “choice”. With ATR, the individual receiving the service choose what services they want to receive from a variety of network providers.

ATR services are available for individuals who meet the following criteria:
*An Iowa resident
*12 years of age or older
*At or below 200% of the federal poverty level guidelines
*Screen positive for possible substance use disorder

The goal of ATR is to assist individuals while they’re working a program of recovery by reducing barriers and obstacles often experienced. ATR does this by funding what are known as Recovery Support Services.

These include:
*Co-pays
*Supplemental Needs
*Transportation

COMMUNITY SUPPORT PROGRAMS …………………………………………………………………………………………
CBHS offers three support programs to assist mental health patients in their recovery journey.
The Community Support Program (CSP) program is designed for seriously mentally ill individuals. The CSP program helps individuals reduce and manage their symptoms and limitations, and move toward stability and full participation in the community. CSP is provided by CBHS staff in the agency group setting.

DIALECTICAL BEHAVIOR THERAPY (DBT) …………………………………………………………………………………DBT or Dialectical Behavior Therapy is an evidence based treatment program designed for those who struggle with managing intense emotions such as anxiety, depression, and anger. The program uses a combination of weekly individual therapy sessions and a weekly DBT skills group to assist individuals in reducing a variety of problems that result from difficulty in regulating their emotions.

The DBT skills group is an educational therapy group which focuses on increasing the client’s skills in the following areas:

Within the DBT group setting, clients are introduced to a new skill from one of the four areas each week and are encouraged to practice the skills during the week in a variety of situations in their own lives. The group then offers the client a place to discuss the difficulties and successes they had in using the new skill. The group also offers a supportive atmosphere where the client can feel safe sharing their daily struggles with managing their emotions and relationships. All clients who take part in the DBT group are also involved in weekly individual therapist to work on personal therapy issues.
